Happy 2014 everyone! I'm back from a warm and delicious escapade to Mexico. It was my second time to this wonderful country and once again it did not disappoint! I discovered a whole world of incredible foods- yes, there is so, so much more then just burritos and tacos :) I'll be sharing pictures from my trip and all the goodness that I ate soon!

Anyway- it will have almost been a year of going vegan and I'm curious to see what the next twelve months have in stock for me.... One thing I know I'll keep making is cauliflower rice, a wonderful "invention" I kept coming across the blogosphere all throughout 2013. It is easy peasy, versatile and just as satisfying as "real" rice- if not better!

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I started Swirl & Scramble because ever since I was a child I enjoyed transforming my kitchen dreams into a reality. Whether it be spontaneous culinary improvisation or well kept family secrets, from savoury to sweet, I needed a place to capture and share these moments. I'm a a curious self-taught cook but have had some basic knowledge at the prestigious Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne and an incredible training experience in the kitchens of the lavish Hotel de Crillon in Paris, France.

I've lived in Greece, Switzerland, France and am now in the NYC area which is a real treat for a culinary lover like myself. In the meantime, I try to travel as much as I can. Most of my travel photography is on my Flickr stream.

You may notice that many of my recipes are of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern influence...the fact is that these origins run in the family and I pretty much grew up on olive oil, onions and garlic!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the recipes!

Photography is done by myself, MariannaF, unless otherwise stated.

If you are interested in using any of my recipes or photos, please ask- just leave a comment and I will e-mail you right back.

Thank you!
